Yao said ThunderCastIP HDTV is an industrial-strength multicast video
server for professional enterprise applications.
``The software supports live
or pre-recorded video streaming from 10 to 50 Mbps over ordinary IP-based
networks.
Video can be streamed to virtually an unlimited number of users simultaneously via an IP multicast without significantly impacting the
network.''
It's not establishing a separate link to each user, it sends out a multicast stream.
"The bulk of Passport's flaws arise directly from its reliance on systems
that are either not trustworthy (such as HTTP referrals and the DNS) or assume
too much about user awareness (such as SSL). Another flaw arises out of
interactions with a particular browser (Netscape). Passport's attempt to
retrofit the complex process of single sign-on to fit the limitations of
existing browser technology leads to compromises that create real risks."

Oh, and don't forget to tack a '| uniq' there :)
Here's a quick (and ugly, ugly, ugly) kludge:
cat access_log | grep default.ida | tr -d '[' | tr -d ']' | awk '{print $1 " " $4 " " $5}'
Ok, Cmdr, if *YOU* don't want to make that comment, I will :)

Happily running Debian.. no more rpmfind.net for me
Grr, I messed up the subject :(
Not enough coffee today

Do we really *need* Passport?
1. If I win, do I get a trip to the US? (see email address)
2. I wonder whether the winner could visit me.

This is what I used.. Nothing much, but I find it somewhat useful :)
LOGFILE=/home/httpd-1.3.20/logs/access_log
echo `cat $LOGFILE | grep default.ida\?NNN | cut -d ' ' -f 1` | tr ' ' "\n" | uniq | sort > old.cr
echo `cat $LOGFILE | grep default.ida\?XXX | cut -d ' ' -f 1` | tr ' ' "\n" | uniq | sort > new.cr
echo `grep -c default.ida $LOGFILE` > total.cr
echo `cat $LOGFILE | grep default.ida | cut -f 1 -d ' ' | uniq | wc -l` >> total.cr
I wonder if I could play XTux on my Nokia...
Gee, I hope it's not encrypted ;)
